Paxton's Beacon

Allen Fisher writes: This book is comprised of extracts from The Art of Flight: I-XXVII: A Selection for Eric Motram and Jackson Mac Low. The Art of Flight is Allen Fisher's formal treatise on the usage in ideas and in language of the terms light and dark, where flight is fugue, folly and fancy.

The work was composed between November 1974 and July 1975.
